Arkansas hoop fans relatively quiet on social media as Hogs hit road
There is not a lot of chatter on social media prior to tonight’s Arkansas basketball game at Georgia. The Razorback faithful seems to be losing their faith.
The Hogs are reeling from an 83-51 loss to Auburn on Saturday – their worst defeat in the history of Bud Walton Arena. They must now try to bounce back with a pair of road games, tonight, then at Florida on Saturday.
Head Coach Eric Musselman’s team have struggled early in the conference season in each of his five seasons, yet the Razorbacks have managed to turn it around and advance to the past three Sweet 16s, including a pair of Elite 8 appearances. This is the third season in a row Arkansas has dropped it’s SEC opener.
Here are some of the posts on X (Twitter) leading up to tonight’s 8 p.m. tipoff:
Should I stay up to watch?
Trey, should I stay up late on a work night to watch this? I typically try to go to sleep by 930 or 10.

What to expect
No clue what to expect tonight, but basketball will be played!
Arkansas at Georgia. First road game of the year. Backs against the wall.
How will the Razorbacks respond after Saturday's smacking?

Knee-jerk reactions
So many knee-jerk reactions from fans that don’t know basketball and love to hear themselves talk. Yea they get plenty of likes and whatever, but the loudest voices out there are usually the dumbest. I’ve had to unfollow so many of the biggest razorback twitter accounts this…

Always a Razorback ...
Once a Razorback always a Razorback. Graduated 1994 – the year of our Razorback Basketball championship. Still see Nolan Richardson in the local grocery store. #WPS

Road trip benefit
I believe being on the Road together could somewhat benefit this team mentally. If the Hogs don’t play like their hair is on 🔥 tonight against Georgia, it’ll be a pretty damning representation of where they are in that regard. However,(1/2)#Arkansas #Razorbacks #Basketball pic.twitter.com/hR0vSfgks1

Still time
You know this team is weak, physically and mentally 👎 We have some good basketball players just not great ones. College sports are ruined with the NIL, players are jealous because some are making big 💰 and most are not. Definitely not good team dynamics 👎
